Reviews
Ximena did a fantastic job taking care of Loki and Lola while we were on vacation. She played with them, fed them, and cleaned their litter box. She tried many times to give Loki his medicine but it didn’t work out this time. Hopefully he will be more used to her the next time she cat sits. We will definitely ask Ximena to cat sit again.

Safety, trust & environment
In both my home and my clients' homes, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. Here’s how I ensure that: In My Home: 1.

Secure Spaces: I provide a safe and secure area for pets to relax and play, with designated zones for eating, sleeping, and playtime. 3. Comfort and Cleanliness: My home is kept clean, with regular deep-cleaning to maintain a healthy environment. Litter boxes and pet areas are cleaned frequently. 4. Supervised Play: I supervise all interactions between pets to ensure safe and positive experiences, providing attention and engagement throughout the visit. In Clients' Homes: 1. Familiar Environment: I respect the pet's home environment, maintaining routines and using familiar toys and bedding to keep them comfortable. 2. Safety First: I follow the client's guidelines for safety, ensuring all doors and windows are secure, and adhering to any rules regarding pet access to certain areas. 3. Trust Building: I communicate openly with pet owners, providing regular updates and photos to build trust and keep them informed about their pet’s well-being. 4. Emergency Preparedness: I familiarize myself with emergency contacts, nearby vet clinics, and any specific medical needs the pet may have to ensure prompt action if needed. By prioritizing safety and creating a trustworthy environment, I ensure that pets feel secure and loved, whether in my home or theirs!

Information Ximena B. would like to know about your pet
My three pets are incredibly important to me. They enjoy a healthy routine that includes homemade meals and daily walks. They are all in great health and have no special needs.
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with fun and engaging activities tailored to their needs and personalities. Here’s how it usually goes: Morning: 1. **Early Morning Snuggles**: I start the day with some gentle cuddles and affection, helping the pets feel loved and secure. 2. **Breakfast Time**: I prepare and serve their meals, ensuring they have fresh water available. 3. **Playtime**: After breakfast, we dive into some interactive play, using toys like feather wands for cats or balls for dogs to get their energy up. Midday: 4. **Outdoor Adventures**: For dogs, I take them for a walk or to a nearby park for some fresh air and exploration. Cats may enjoy supervised outdoor time in a secure area or engaging play with laser pointers indoors. 5. **Training Time**: I incorporate short training sessions during playtime, reinforcing good behavior and basic commands through positive reinforcement. Afternoon: 6. **Quiet Time**: After our active sessions, we settle down for some quiet time. I provide a cozy spot for them to relax, whether it’s a sunny window for a cat or a comfy dog bed. 7. **Puzzle Toys**: I introduce puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys to keep their minds stimulated while they enjoy some independent play. Evening: 8. **Dinner**: I serve dinner, ensuring they eat their meals in a calm environment. 9. **Evening Walks**: For dogs, I take them for a leisurely evening stroll, giving them a chance to unwind and explore. 10. **Wind-Down Time**: As the day wraps up, we enjoy some more snuggles or gentle petting. I make sure to provide a safe and comfortable space for them to sleep. Overall: Throughout the day, I focus on creating a routine that balances play, exercise, and relaxation, ensuring each pet feels happy and engaged!
